This couple means so very much to me. Their love for Jesus was the center of everything they did for their wedding and it was an incredible honor to capture their wedding day.
Callie and I captured Kate's brother's wedding two years ago and we loved getting to know this family; so when it just so happened that Callie was available to second shoot for me on Kate an[...]

This session might be my most favorite engagement session I have ever done. And here's why:
-Chandler and I went to school together, and were in the same sorority. She is hilarious, kind and makes every situation so fun.
-It was in Charleston, SC. Need I say more?
-Nick might be one of the funniest people I have every met. His humor reminded me so much of my husban[...]

I met Sarah and Brantley at her parents home that over looked the mountain tops; I could have done their entire engagement session right there in their front yard! But I didn't know all the prettiness they had in store for our session. We jumped on the gator/four wheeler and headed out all around her families property; making stops anytime the light was just right and[...]

If you know me at all, or have followed me on instagram for any length of time, you probably already know how much I love these two. A little over a year ago I had the privilege of photographing Cassie and Brooks' mountain top, vineyard wedding. It was so beautiful and such a sweet reflection of these two as a couple. What I didn't realize was that I would be not only[...]

Alex and Carlos' wedding was such a beautiful combination of all of the things and cultures they love. Their tile place cards paid tribute to their heritage, while the harry potter quotes on their cocktail napkins were a fun way to incorporate their mutual love for the magical world they are such big fans of!
Getting to know these two was so fun, because they are b[...]

Hudson and Jan have such a beautiful story. After losing loved ones, they were gifted with a second chance at love. They met through their daughters, who were in Sunday School together and decided to set their parents up after talking on a girls weekend. So naturally they knew the new siblings would all get along, but what was even sweeter was how excited all of their[...]

I really love repeat clients. I love getting to build relationships with people and later photograph new seasons, or other parts of their family. David just so happens to be the sister of one of Nancy's brides from last year; so when they asked me to photograph their rehearsal dinner I was thrilled.
Anna and David's rehearsal dinner was such a sweet reflection of [...]

June was a busy month. In one weekend I was in two states, and three cities, for three different shoots. Sudie and Evin's engagement session just so happened to be one of them, and it was the perfect morning to truly enjoy what I do. One thing we always say we love about engagement sessions is how it allows us to get to know a couple better before their wedding day. D[...]

Georgeanna and Lawrence may live on the other side of the country, in L.A. but they met and fell in love right around the corner from us at UNC. On their recent trip here to Raleigh for some wedding planning meetings, we met on an early morning and walked all around UNC's campus, capturing this season of engagement for them. These two are most definitely best friends,[...]

When sweet Shelby contacted us about photographing her Bridal Shower I was so excited. You may recognize her from her personal blog Pretty in the Pines. Following Shelby's blog and knowing she has wonderful taste, I was so excited to see all of the details she had selected for her shower. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Her theme was Traveling from Miss to[...]
